DeSean Jackson's speed still kills, even at 32 – SB Nation Speed ​​tends to be the first thing that goes for aging athletes. However, DeSean Jackson is not the most aging athlete. At 32, he still runs past the corners, making life difficult for security. That speed was on full display in the Eagles' opener against Washington and turns well for Philadelphia's offense this season. Jackson took eight passes for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the Eagles & # 39; 32-27 victory. He made his 30th career touchdown at least 50 yards for second all-time, passing Randy Moss and with only Jerry Rice ahead of him. The NFL's Next Gen Stats also clocked him at 21.4 mph at his fastest Sunday, behind only Malcolm Butler and Saquon Barkley. Jackson eclipsed 900 receiving yards in five of his first six seasons, all with the Eagles, but he has only done it twice again since. Although he has not managed 800 yards in any of the last two seasons with Tampa Bay, that may change this year when he returned to Philadelphia. And the Eagles have definitely been missing a field-wide player like Jackson ever since he left the team.

DeSean Jackson only tracks Jerry Rice in career touchdowns 50 yards or more – PFT With those two touchdowns, Jackson now has 31 touchdowns of 50 yards or more in his NFL career. Only Jerry Rice, with 36, has more. Jackson went into a tie on Sunday with Randy Moss, who is now third in NFL history with 29 career highs of 50 yards or more.

10 DeSean Jackson Stats That Will Blow Your Mind – NBCSP Half a Century – Jackson became the first Eagle with two 50-yard TDs in the same game in 52 years, as Ben Hawkins had touchdowns of 63 and 69 meters from Norm Snead in tie with the Redskins 1967 at DC Stadium. The last NFL player with two 50-yard TDs in the same game was Odell Beckham for the Giants against the corps 2016.

Eagle Eye: Domination in the shootings ignites the rushing attack – PE.com The passing game is important, especially When you have a quarterback like Carson Wentz, but the best offense at the end of the year is ALWAYS to be some of the best teams in the league. You have to be able to win in different ways if you are a great team in the NFL, and the Eagles showed really positive signs of being a team that can win in the shooters when needed in Week 1.

NFC Hierarchy / Obituary: Week 2- edition – PhillyVoice 2) Eagles (1-0): The roughness of the Eagles' worrying first half against Washington was somewhat offset by their dominance in the second half. On the plus side, Carson Wentz and the Eagles looked good when they clicked out so they could be very good this season. On the not so positive side, pass rate was suspect, and the secondary allowed the receivers to open at open when the quarterback had time to throw. There is much to correct before Week 2.

Sloppy Start – Iggles Blitz Akeem Spence was productive for Miami last year. He had two sacks, 6 TFL and 9 QB hits while starting all 16 games. The Eagles have been lucky to find 1-gap DTs. Justin Hamilton, Treyvon Hester, Hassan Ridgeway, etc. Spence is 6-1, 303 and is at his best to attack the field.

Carson Wentz 2.0: QB Adjustments Sparkle the Eagles – ESPN At the same time, his average time in his pocket was 2.37 seconds, compared to 2.18 in 2018 – a sign that he gave a bit more time for games to developed before he bowed to the unknown. While Wentz somehow colors outside the lines less, he still has a huge amount of freedom to call gigs on the line of scrutiny. He was a blazing hot 12-of-13 in 197 yards and three touchdowns on third down on Sunday, and he then revealed that he called the shots under many of those circumstances, especially in the second half, when the offense caught fire. "It was a couple of times today that we just wanted to get on the ball and see what they did in terms of coverage so we could call it on the line," he said. “It is nice that we were able to communicate as efficiently as we did and get ourselves in the right call to pick up some important third downs. It simplifies the type of game for us and lets us play. ”

Week 1 DVOA Rating – Football Outsiders Only one game in Week 1 came out with the loser receiving a higher VOA rating than the winner: Washington (eighth) against Philadelphia (15th). This is interesting because the Eagles had the much higher success rate (50 percent to 40 percent) but Washington had more average yardage (6.98 compared to 6.24 for the Eagles). Some of the differences will allow the Eagles to average just 8.2 yards to go on their games while the Redskins average 10.3 yards to go. And part of the issue was penalties, with Washington having 12 and Philadelphia only six. Washington had a lot to hold conversations: five, including one on one point. It's something that needs to go into the DVOA system the next time I get a major review of it.

Falcons – Vikings: Five Things We Learned – The Falcoholic 1. The offensive line is still a work in progress. Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this debacle is that it is not fun to play perhaps the best defensive line in the NFL on the road in a hostile environment. Even appreciated left tackle Jake Matthews handed two sacks to a team that kept Matt Ryan on skates for most of the game and struggled to establish much in the running game. With first-round guard Chris Lindström now out half the season or more with a foot fracture and his first-round teammate Kaleb McGary still getting his rookie balls out of the way, the team will need an instant rebound from Matthews, stalwart play from center Alex Mack and who takes over for Lindström to increase it. The team can't expect to do plenty this season if the offensive line plays like this again.

What we learned from the Redskins loss to Philadelphia Eagles – Hogs Haven Finally, the Redskins collapse was the ugliest of all. The Redskins were outscored 32-10 after going for a 17-0 lead. Eagles receiver Desean Jackson after the game said in an interview with Deion Sanders that he knew the Redskins would fold in the second half because the Redskins were more likely than not to feel the game was over at halftime. Jackson's comments are not gospel; however, he was in the locker room for three years and he has insight into how Jay Gruden's team responds to minimal success.

Nick Foles injury update: Jaguars QB to be placed on IR / returning, may return week 11 vs. Colts – Big Cat Country Fole's surgery was reported this morning and he will be officially added to the injury report later today. It was reported that Foles suffered a broken left heel in yesterday's 40-26 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. If Foles is placed on an injured reserve, he would be eligible to return in Week 11 when the team visits the Indianapolis Colts on November 17.

The Bengals refrain from signing Jordan Willis to sign LaRoy Reynolds – Cincy Jungle Reynolds (6-1, 228), a seventh-year player from the University of Virginia, was originally a college-free agent who belonged to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013. He has spent time with the Jaguars (2013-15), Chicago Bears (& # 39; 15), Atlanta Falcons (& # 39; 16-17) and Philadelphia Eagles (& # 39; 18). Reynolds has played in 84 career games (seven starts) and has 81 tackles and two fumble recoveries. He was with the San Francisco 49ers this season, but was released during final cuts.
